DES MOINES, IA – Building on campaign momentum, Iowans for Hillary today announced the names of 535 Iowa Veterans who are supporting Hillary Clinton. Veterans throughout the Hawkeye State have signed on to support Hillary because of her strong record of enacting the change Veterans need.

“We need a president with the strength and experience to take on the toughest challenges, someone who has a lifetime record of getting results,” said retired Lieutenant Colonel and US Representative Leonard Boswell (D-IA 3rd). “Hillary Clinton will end the war in Iraq. She has the experience and the wisdom to get us out of Iraq, protect our troops in the process and work toward stability and peace in this troubled region of the world.”

Rep. Boswell served in the US Army for twenty years, earning two Distinguished Flying Crosses, two Bronze Stars, the Soldier’s Medal, and numerous other decorations and medals.

Iowa Veterans understand that real leadership only comes with years of experience and that’s why they are increasingly standing in Hillary’s corner. Over the past week, the campaign’s energy has multiplied after receiving endorsements from the Des Moines Register, former Senator Bob Kerrey, US Congressman Leonard Boswell, and Iowa Secretary of State Michael Mauro.

“When I am President, the days of cowboy diplomacy will be over; and if President Bush does not end the war in Iraq, I will,” said Senator Clinton. “Unlike the current Administration, I will treat our nation’s Veterans with the respect they deserve, providing them the health care and support they need.”
